Building energy modeling & analysis for significant energy savings

What is Energy Modeling and why should you opt for it? What
do you gain from it?
These questions might concern you as saving energy has become a necessity
today. Accomplishing goals with minimum/optimum energy consumption
is a task that requires a lot of hard work into achieving it.

GlobalWarming has led to the warming up of the planet Earth. This is hostile to the vitalsustenance of mankind.£This has, however, pushed everyone to contribute his/her bit in reducing thedamaging effects of Global Warming. This is the reason why innovation in designingand building energy modeling is given high priority over others.In addition to this is another trend — Building simulation technology central to climatechange alleviating approaches.
